Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, v4 n3 Article 5 p25-32 Jul 2005
Due to the lack of necessary Computing and Information Technology (IT) skills, education in many disciplines, such as, Communication and Media Studies, Education and Economy were said, not to have produced the results demanded by the related industries. Here, we suggest an effective and economically feasible educational framework where the graduates from the Information Technology departments, fully proficient in data collection, processing and management besides system analysis skills, would continue their graduate/postgraduate education in such disciplines without wasting any time in completing the deficiency programs through the use of free-elective courses which are already available in their curricula.
